Is this guy for real? His comments should be based around himself and Liverpool rather than us. Know your audience dickhead.
Sheikh Mansour is worth 33 billion on his own. He could keep spending all he likes.
This is like a tramp going up to Elton John and saying "Are you sure you want to be wasting money on flowers in this recession?"
"Like all bullies, they've just found out that there is a much bigger guy in town, someone who is richer and more powerful than their worst nightmare. And this smiling Arabic assassin is intent on stealing all the treasures they've nicked off everyone else, and pulverising them into commercial and footballing oblivion as he does so."

Why do poor people always want to curb the spending of the rich? Fuck off Hick you tit, if our masters want to splash the cash then it's up to them, you'll get your share next summer when we buy Gerrard & Torres.

Ah, very nice.
Rent boys aren't a waste during the recession they're an investment... in my happiness.
Anyway, get down off your high horse... just because your gay love comes free...

This is highly laughable, as his baseball franchise has been in trouble since they signed Alex Rodriquez in 2001, for what at the time was more than the GDP of North Korea (for those of you not into baseball, he is the baseball version of the tranny).
Anyway, less I digress, as baseball came upon the trade deadline (i.e. the end of the "transfer" window), his team the Texas Rangers were in the hunt to help their chances to make the playoffs. However, as they looked to make a deal for a particular player (name escapes me now), the league office told them they could not spend the money due to the team's financial situation. I guess there is a fear if Hicks does not straighten it up, Major League Baseball might have to take control of the team, and that is not good for anyone.
Bottom line is, the fat prick is upset because he can no longer spend with the big boys in both baseball and footy, so he has to say things like this to keep fat Rafa well fed with talent, which he clearly can no longer afford. Thank you Abu Dabi.

Exactly he's upset because he cannot afford and wants others to stop.

I am sure our owners will listen to what Hicks has to say about running a buisness.
In 6 months following the recession and global money collapse, HRH Skeikh Mansour made a PROFIT of £1.5BN on his Barclays shares, from the price he purchased them at.
In the same time, Hicks lost half of his fortune and was forced to sell his Baseball and Ice-Hockey franchise, to make ends meet I guess, I can see how this man is the model of business accumen.
I think HRH Shiekh Mansour would pay more attention to a Monkey when it comes to discussing finances, lets put it one way, he would get more sense and knowledge out of one of them, than he would Hicks, Gillet, Ferguson, Abrahmovic and Platini.

Here is an excerpt from an article regarding Hicks and his baseball team:
Owner Tom Hicks essentially has lost fiscal control of the Rangers, which has had to borrow at least $15 million from major league baseball. MLB is making many of the calls regarding Rangers' moves, including the one that cost them the ability to sign No. 1 draft pick Matt Purke. The Rangers thought they would be able to offer Purke one amount, but commissioner Bud Selig, responding to pressure from other owners, forced them to back away from that offer and Purke wound up rejecting the team's subsequent lower offer and will play for TCU instead.
In baseball when a player is drafted there is a value assigned to the place where they are picked. It is suggested you pay the player that amount, but not required. However, since the Rangers are in such dire condition the league, since it has a marker on the club, told them they could not go above slot. The player chose not to accept the slot price (after being offered more by the club) and chose to go back to college. Any player not signed by August 31 goes back into the draft the next year and the Rangers receive nothing. Basically the Rangers should have selected a player they know they could have signed at that price (a player of less skill than Purke, but still better to have a lower level prospect than not have one at all).
Hopefully the morale of the story is this is what will start happening to his footy club.

I just heard on the radio here in Dallas that the Rangers' General Manager, Nolan Ryan, is not being paid according to the contract he signed when he took the job. He is being paid a lesser amount, and has a "handshake agreement" with Hicks for the difference when Hicks finds some money.
Berbatov wins golden boot, spends following season on the bench while his team loses title on goal difference. Well played, Fergie.
